AVAIL FOR WORK! For the first time ever, all your favorite music videos, commercials, and films are available to view in glorious 0.1K resolution. See images come to life in *tens* of dazzling colors. Katy Perry, Usher, Caroline Polachek… hear the sounds of your favorite artists as if sung by a chorus of mosquitoes behind your ear. The new era of cinematic immersion has arrived, and it’s soon to be lost behind a bookshelf or something once my cats discover it.

Pictures from Copenhagen on my matchbook-sized toy camera. No screen, no focus, 4?? 8?? seconds to take a picture, horrible rolling shutter, dies quickly on a AAA battery — a photographer’s dream.

Los Angeles Dodgers 2026 Season Schedule prints! Been wanting a calendar like this for a while, so I figured why not design a good one? And because I’m addicted to mailing Dodgers gear to all my friends and family I’ve got a bunch for sale, too. (details below) This is an 8x17”, 2-color Risograph print on sturdy cardstock, first edition of 100. Fit for your wall or desk or fridge. Easy reference for catching the world’s best baseball team on the radio or TV, or at the very least to know when Sunset Blvd is gonna be a total mess. Included at the top is a little greeting, a favorite of mine by way of Vin Scully: “Hi everybody, and a very pleasant good evening to you, wherever you may be…” $20 including shipping to your very own mailbox. Email me at [email protected] for a copy and they’ll go out later this week!

Vertical shots from DodgerCam, 2025 season

For Christmas 2024 my friend Jocelyn got me a plastic Dodgers promotional camera from the 90s, so I put a roll of film in it and made it a rule that it could only be shot in and around Dodger stadium. That one roll lasted the entirety of the 2025 season. It saw about a dozen games, Shohei Ohtani’s first pitch as a Dodger, Kershaw’s 3,000th career strikeout, and the illegal fireworks over Sunset Boulevard after we won it all. Looking at the photos all together, there are no date stamps, days blend together, and the roll feels like one long unbroken game.

Analog Video Feedback Experiments Can a camera dream? This video is the result of a video tube camera aimed at a CRT TV on which its own signal is being displayed. There is no external input other than line noise and base level cathode ray illumination. What starts as random input organizes itself into oddly organic pattern and structure. Intervention on my part (by way of riding the camera iris) is necessary to keep a delicate balance — too much signal builds up into an unbroken field of light, and too little will fade away into nothing.

⚾️SHIRTS ARE PRINTING!!!⚾️ So excited to see these things in real life after staring at the design on my computer screen for 100 hours. Thanks to everyone who’s been excited about these and thanks to @ultimateshirtco for being so fun and easy to work with! There are still about 20 shirts remaining from this run so hit me up if you still want one!

The Dodgers won again(!) so here I am with a new bootleg shirt design for sale. Game 7 of the World Series was the best baseball game I’ve seen in my life, and I’ve seen at LEAST like 10-15 baseball games. The design features ice-in-his-veins ace/closer/greek god Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Miguel Rojas’ heroic homer in the 9th, and the bang-bang out at home that saved our season by inches (millimeters??). It’s hard to count the time I’ve spent replaying this game in my mind (and on youtube). The shirts will be professionally printed this week on 100% cotton Hanes beefy tees and will be ready in time to ship before Christmas. Getting these printed is more expensive than doing it myself so this year they’ll be $40. Local Pickup is greatly encouraged but if you’d like me to ship, it’ll be an additional $8. If you want a shirt, please email me at [email protected], put “DODGER SHIRT” in the subject line with the quantity and size desired. I’ll reply with payment info. Thanks to everyone who’s already texting me asking about a new shirt and to everyone who bought a shirt last year — you have no idea how happy it makes me every time I see one out in the world!
